Today, we take your omelette game to the next level with this Quick Spanish Omelette recipe! It’s delicious, has great macros, is meal prep friendly, and tastes just as good cold.
The only thing you’ll need is an omelette pan and a few ingredients. I’m using an 8” pan but whatever size you have should work as long as you “shape” your omelette correctly.
You could also double this recipe and use a bigger pan if you don’t have or don’t want to buy a smaller one.
Start your recipe by adding in a little olive oil into your pan and once it heats up throw in some chopped up onions of your choice. Cook those until tender.
This step is optional but preferred and doesn’t really take that long. If you don’t have the time, skip this part and just use raw onion. Both ways taste great!
Next, take out a bowl and add into that 5 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of bacon bits, 1/4 cup of cheese, and your cooked or raw chopped up onions.
If you want to add anything else in like seasonings or other vegetables, do that now.
Mix everything together.
Microwave a sweet potato (or cook it in the oven if you have the time), chop it up into cubes, and lightly mix it in being careful not to “smoosh” it.
Yes, I said smoosh.
To make this step even easier, you could prepare your sweet potatoes in bulk and reheat them as needed.
Spanish Omelette Shape
Pour your mix into your pan coated with olive oil over medium heat and let that cook for a few minutes. Every minute or so you’ll want to circle a spatula around the edges to give it some shape.
You’ll know your quick Spanish omelette is ready to flip when the outer edges look cooked and they don’t jiggle.
Place a plate over your pan and quickly flip it. Slide your omelette back into your pan and continue cooking for a couple minutes.
The most important part here is to use a plate that fits around your pan.
You now have a quick Spanish omelette…or at least my rendition of it! One of my favorite things about this recipe is that you can cut it in half or into slices and use it for meal prep.
You can also eat this cold or easily reheat it in the microwave for around a minute.
